The "Perm Press" (Permanent Press) cycle on a washer is a setting designed to reduce wrinkles in clothing during washing and drying. It is especially useful for synthetic or blended fabrics that are prone to wrinkling, as well as some natural fibers that wrinkle easily. How the Perm Press Cycle Works on a Washer:

• Uses warm water for washing and cold water for rinsing.
• Employs gentler agitation and a slower spin cycle to minimize fabric stress and prevent wrinkles.
• The cycle typically lasts around 30 minutes.
• Helps protect fabric from wear and tear while reducing wrinkles

How the Perm Press Cycle Works on a Dryer:

• Uses medium heat to dry clothes more gently than regular cycles.
• Includes a cool-down period at the end to prevent creases and wrinkles from setting.
• The gentler heat and tumbling reduce shrinkage and fabric damage

Benefits:

• Minimizes wrinkles and creases, making ironing easier or unnecessary.
• Helps maintain the appearance and durability of clothes.
• Suitable for synthetic fabrics like polyester, rayon, nylon, and blends, as well as some treated cotton or linen garments.
• Not recommended as a substitute for delicate cycles on very fragile items

Other names for Perm Press on washers/dryers include:

• Casual
• Wrinkle control
• Wrinkle shield
• Easy care
• No-iron
• Anti-wrinkle

In summary, the Perm Press cycle is a fabric care setting that uses warm wash water, cold rinse, slower spin speeds, and medium heat drying with a cool-down phase to reduce wrinkles and protect clothes during laundry
